  1. Inside The Pitt

    6D AGO

    Inside The Pitt

    We would love to hear what topics matter to you! Drop us a text and let us know! A single shift can hold a lifetime. We dive into The Pit and why its hour-by-hour format nails the rhythm of real hospital work: the long minutes, the sudden crises, and the way a calm voice can hide a racing heart. From the first punch-throwing scene to the last hallway sprint, we map those moments to our own time in the ICU and OR, where the stakes were just as high and the fluorescent lights just as unforgiving. We get honest about violence against healthcare workers and the uncomfortable double standard that excuses assault when it happens in a hospital. We break down clinical realism—chest decompressions that actually relieve pressure, ribs that crack during effective CPR, drips stacked ten high—and the terrifying truth that two patients on similar meds can meet very different fates. We also talk about returning to bedside care during COVID, walking through waiting rooms full of families who couldn’t enter, and saying goodbye through iPads before heading home to pack lunches. That’s the part TV often misses; this show doesn’t. There’s heart in this story too. The charge nurse who runs the unit like a battlefield composer. The patient who coded three times and later walked back to say thank you. The spinal cord injury survivor who stood when no one expected it. Even a telehealth message that brightened a whole week: “I never thought I could feel this good.” We compare small hospitals with level one trauma centers, unpack the heroes-to-zeroes whiplash after COVID, and ask for a kind of compassion that outlasts the news cycle. If you want a candid, grounded look at the craft, chaos, and quiet heroism of modern care, press play and join us. @NoahWyle we would love to have you, or your mom- as guest on the show! If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs to hear it, and leave a review with the moment that hit you hardest. Your stories keep this community strong.

    A 12-Foot Fall, A Broken Workflow, And Why Patients Get Left Behind

    We would love to hear what topics matter to you! Drop us a text and let us know! A panicked shout from the other room, a young roofer on the ground, and a fogged-in helicopter set the stakes before coffee even kicks in. From there, we follow a second crisis that unfolded in silence: a wound vac doing its job on a fresh amputation, then a sudden insurance change that triggered a computer discharge with no warning. We walk through both moments—the immediate trauma response and the slow-burn administrative breakdown—to show how care holds together or slips apart based on clear protocols, consistent workflows, and basic human follow-through. We break down what happens after a fall greater than ten feet and why spine precautions matter, then translate that urgency into home care logistics. You’ll hear how negative pressure wound therapy speeds healing and prevents infection, and why a missed dressing change can undo weeks of progress. The conversation pulls back the curtain on home health operations, prior authorizations, and the hidden handoffs that either protect patients or abandon them. We offer practical fixes anyone can use: requesting a warm transfer to an in-network agency, asking for a short-term cash pay bridge to prevent lapses, documenting timelines, and escalating to case management early. Working from home as telehealth clinicians adds another layer. When your clinic is your living room, codes don’t page a team—they page you. We talk honestly about boundaries, backup coverage, and the systems that keep quality high even when life happens. And we propose something simple with outsized impact: an RN-led hotline for the gray areas—appeals, denials, transport barriers, DME hiccups—so people are not left guessing when the system shrugs. If this conversation hits home, tap follow, share it with a friend who’s navigating care at home, and drop us a review with the one tool you wish you had when insurance changed mid-treatment. Your stories shape the fixes we build next. Endorsement Thanks for tuning in to today’s episode! Ready to take the next step in your health journey?

    Licenses, Laws, And Telehealth Growth

    We would love to hear what topics matter to you! Drop us a text and let us know! Ready for a frank, field-tested guide to building a real telehealth business without losing your mind to 50-state rules? We sit down with the ER physician turned  CEO of Guardian MD who turned COVID-era travel medicine lessons into a scalable system for compliance, collaboration, and patient outcomes. From multi-state licensing nightmares to the surprising places boards disagree, this conversation unpacks what it actually takes to protect your license and launch services that patients love. We dig into the practical stuff: why ERs overflow with “bread and butter” cases better handled by telehealth, how protocol libraries can standardize safe care across med spa, wellness, functional medicine, and urgent care, and where a telemedicine arm can support RNs who can’t diagnose or treat. If you’ve wrestled with corporate practice of medicine, prescriptive authority, or those state portals that make you re-enter every detail, you’ll hear strategies that save time, money, and stress. The big idea is simple and hard: build programs, not fads. Weight management beats “selling semaglutide.” Hormone health beats “selling testosterone.” Educate patients, measure outcomes, and the revenue follows. Along the way, we challenge the myth of autonomy—real clinicians collaborate, even in full-practice states. That mindset, paired with clear agreements, malpractice alignment, and living protocols, is how you scale without risking everything you’ve built. If you’re an NP, PA, or RN dreaming of your own practice—or trying to make your existing one safer and stronger—this episode is your playbook for compliance, state-by-state collaboration, and outcomes-driven care.  Or Dr. Seitz offers his services at the following link: https://affiliates.guardianmedicaldirection.com/hamiltonhealthwellness  use code :TATTOO150 Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs a boost, and drop your toughest licensing or protocol question in the comments so we can tackle it next.

    Starting Fresh: Hormones, Faith, And Focus

    We would love to hear what topics matter to you! Drop us a text and let us know! The year didn’t start with a neat checklist—it started with truth. We’ve been caring for aging parents, navigating dementia, recovering from surgery, and managing clinics while our minds ran 24/7. That pressure cooker led us back to basics: faith as a real anxiety reset, presence as a daily skill, and boundaries that keep our work from swallowing our lives. Along the way we asked a bigger question: what does real relief look like for women who’ve been told to tough it out? We get candid about the mental load, the “let them” approach with adult kids, and the way forced rest can become a hinge point for healing. Then we turn to the most hopeful medical shift we’ve seen lately: a reframed, evidence-aligned view of women’s hormone therapy. We break down why timing matters in perimenopause, how transdermal and bioidentical approaches differ from the old-school pills, and what current data suggest about brain, heart, and sleep protection. We also highlight low-dose vaginal estrogen for dryness, UTIs, urgency, and better nights—practical fixes that change daily life without drama. You’ll hear real clinic wins, including ferritin checks for hair thinning and fatigue, and a look at estriol-based face creams compounded with collagen and hyaluronic acid for gentle skin support. We share what’s coming next: a private community for menopause education, GLP-1 guidance, and peptide strategies—clear talk without hype. If 2025 stretched you thin, this conversation offers grounded strategies, science you can use, and a renewed commitment to well-being that doesn’t require burnout as the entry fee. If this resonates, tap follow, share with a friend who needs relief, and leave a review telling us the one symptom you most want solved—we’ll build future episodes around your questions.

    Train From Anywhere: Telehealth Fitness Made Simple

    We would love to hear what topics matter to you! Drop us a text and let us know! What if your strongest self is one tap away? We sit down with trainer Kate Bustos to unpack how telehealth turned strength training into something simple, portable, and surprisingly personal. Kate shares the story of moving online during 2020, juggling a newborn, and discovering that short, focused sessions with dumbbells and kettlebells can outpace hour-long gym trips—because consistency wins. Across the conversation, we get into why strength isn’t optional, especially for women 40 and up. Kate explains how lifting supports bone density, posture, and metabolic health while still pushing your heart rate. Think full-body circuits that fit into 30 minutes and travel well—hotel rooms, living rooms, and everything in between. We also talk about gym intimidation and how a virtual coach builds confidence: real-time form checks, clear programming, and zero wandering from machine to machine wondering what to do next. Nutrition gets the practical treatment too. Kate breaks down daily protein goals, realistic calorie ranges, and the power of meal prep without food rules. From her “eat what I eat” approach to simple grocery lists and portion visuals, you’ll hear how small, repeatable habits fuel better workouts and steadier energy. Whether you want a live session, a group option, or a four- or twelve-week plan you can follow on your schedule, Bustos Training makes it easy to start and easier to stick with it.
